This Online Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) applies to those adidas websites that display or link to this Policy (including adidas.com/us, miadidas.com/us, and adidas.com and referred to in this Policy as the "Website"). This Policy applies to data collected by adidas through its Websites and services that display these terms. It does not apply to those adidas sites, services and products that do not display or link to this Policy or that have their own privacy policies. This Policy describes the information we collect and how we use it. By visiting our Website, you are accepting the practices described in this Policy. If you do not agree to the terms of this Policy, please do not use the Website.

What Information about me does adidas.com collect and store?

Our privacy policy is simple: Except as disclosed below, we don't sell, trade, give away, or rent your personal information to any company outside of the adidas Group.

Barricade 9 All-Court Shoes
Much improved

January 23 2015

This is a much more comfortable shoe vs. the 6,7, 8 & 8+ barricades. The upper is a lot softer meaning the toe box is not as hard. Also, now that the stability has been moved toward the mid/rear of the foot thanks to the new chassis, the 9 is much more flexible in the forefoot. As a result I feel a little quicker off the mark without a compromise in stability. Does feel a little lighter also and not as bulky compared to previous models. Also, I am usually a size 10, however in these I wear a 10.5, in fact in most adidas I go up half a size.

There are some changes to this new line of Barricade tennis shoes; softer upper shell means less break-in time and new look. For me, they did hurt the inside of my ankle for a while for some time. They are a bit narrow which are fine for my feet. My size is usually 11.5 but for barricades I sometimes go up half a size and got a 12. They look good too. I'm not sure about those circles though, but I guess they have to be there.
Regarding performance, they are as good as it gets for a tennis shoe. I can say they are like a combination of Barridcade 7 and adizero feather 3 shoes. Easy on changing direction (the silver part is there to hold and brace the foot when changing directions), no slipping, hugs the foot, light and they feel low to the ground too, like a speed shoe.

So far so good. I gave up on Barricades a few years ago because they were too clunky and heavy and they were badly-designed in that they were sharp on the arch of the foot. I'm pleased to say that now they're lighter and much better-fitting. They still run small though (I had to go for 11.5 rather than 11 as the latter were too small). Will see how they go as I wear them in though.

This is literally a unique shirt. As Adidas says no two of these shirts are alike. There are only a few “crease or paint job issues” but it’s not a production defect but part of the design. It’s like buying distressed jeans and then complaining about torn patches!
After reading the reviews, I opted to go one size down. I’m usually a Large but got a Medium and it fits well. So you may want to go down a size because it is pretty loose. As it is customary with adizero tennis line, the design is a bold and beautiful one. You’d get compliments from people. Whoever came up with this motif should get a raise!
If I want to be picky, I’d say I’m not crazy about the fabric they used. It’s a strange kind of fabric which I haven’t seen in any other Adidas shirt. The fabric used in Barricade climachill Tee is much softer, lighter, and a bit stretchy too. All in all, it’s a cool looking shirt and I will get another one too.

I am really sold on these shoes, i play a lot of tennis and well fitted shoes are a must, i was fairly happy with the earlier model but these are WOW even better, sturdy base and light well ventilated upper body, fit like a glove, i would love an alternative colour but at this price :( i will make do with the one pair, Yes i would definatly recommend.

I have purchased team 4 recently and found I move very comfortably on the court. My serve and volley become more efficient as the acceleration and stopping of forward movement are easier. Great stuff. Edward

Just got this shoes today, and played tennis with it one hour ago.
and I have to say that my size is US10, 1.83m height,I found out that the shoes isnt uncomfortable, heavy, it is perfect shoes to me now!

I ordered these shoes about 2 months ago. They were pretty expensive but wanted to be comfortable while I play tennis. When I buy a new pair of shoes I always wear them for one or two days at home and a office before I take them to my local tennis club, that is the best prevention how not to have any blisters.
Anyway, I wore the Barricade about half of day and didn't want to wear them anymore. They are too narrow, my feet very pretty uncomfortable. I hated them. My feet are size 14. "Adidas, you have to make size 14 wider." I don't think my feet are wide at all. Plus my hills felt like the shoes might have come off any time. Can't be only negative, the shoes looked pretty good, better than on pictures.

This is the third pair of Barricades and overall I really love these shoes. However my latest pair do not seem to be wearing very well. The chrome colour and adidas emblem has started coming off the side off the shoes and I have only had them for a month.

These shorts are very comfortable. They are roomy without feeling like you are floating in them. They wick away moisture and allow you to stay dry while staying active for longer periods...and they're stylish as well.

These shorts are absolutely amazing! Extremely comfortable, they absorb and remove sweat very quickly, and are lightweight and playable. Good length too. Us juniors can be picky on the length of our shorts, but I'm 6' tall and these go down about halfway down my kneecaps, so for tennis shorts they're a very good length. I've bough many pairs of Nike and Adidas shorts in the past, but this might be my favorite yet. Very well made, fairly durable and comfortable, and good size. Couldn't ask for anything better! THANK YOU ADIDAS!

When I ordered the shoes at Christmas, I thought the bits that are actually silver were light grey. I have since received vulgar abuse for their vulgar styling.
I don't know if the circular patterning has any function, but with 6 months play (usually on artificial clay), the discoloration makes it look as though my feet have some fungal infection
If the Adidas shop in Manchester had been open still, I wouldn't have had to rely on a photo on a web site

So at first, I wasn't impressed with this shoe due to the slipping of the heel at the back, but as soon as I got used to the shoe and wore a couple of extra pairs of socks, this shoe is brilliant, would recommend!

Barricade 9 All-Court Shoes
Bit disappointed in the colour when they arrived

January 08 2015

bit disappointed on how it looks. From the photos I thought the sides of the shoes was going to be shinny red but when they arrived they were a very dull red unlike how the photos show it up. was going to buy the purple in them as I only wear Adidas but don't think I will now as the looks are very dissaving from on line photos but over all the shoe is as comfortable as the AdidasTennis shoes always are which is why I usually buy the new ones when they come out.

It’s the second pair of the Barricade 9 I bought. The first one is white where I know went for the purple one.
The colour of the white ones started to peel off on one side only a few weeks after I bought them.
The 6 month outsole warranty is some kind of pointless. You will only get the shoe replaced once the outer sole is completely gone – basically once you have a hole in the shoe. If you are not playing a lot you will not wear it off. If you are playing a lot and you are serious about the shoes you will replace the shoes once the profile is worn – which is before you have a hole in the shoes.
I’ve got the white ones for 5 month now and would have replaced them about a month ago. But I’m now wearing them off to get them replaced.
Having said the above the shoe is great and no one else gives you the outer sole warranty anyway. It’s very stable – as all barricades – still light and comfortable. Although I still like the looks of the barricade 7 the best I’d by the 2015 again.
